Extrema de valeurs propres dans une classe conforme

Pierre Jammes (2005/2006)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

On s’intéresse au problème de savoir quelle est la rigidité apportée au spectre d’une variété riemannienne compacte par le fait de fixer son volume et se classe conforme, et en particulier de déterminer si on peut faire tendre les valeurs propres vers 0 ou l’infini sous cette contrainte. On considère successivement les cas du laplacien usuel agissant sur les fonctions, l’opérateur de Dirac, le laplacien conforme et le laplacien de Hodge-de Rham.

Ferromagnetic integrals, correlations and maximum principles

Johannes Sjöstrand (1994)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

For correlations of the form (0.2) we consider a critical case and prove power decay upper bounds in terms of the fundamental solution of a certain elliptic operator. This is achieved by improving the use of a maximum principle. We also formulate a general maximum principle and give two applications.

Global minimizer of the ground state for two phase conductors in low contrast regime

Antoine Laurain (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The problem of distributing two conducting materials with a prescribed volume ratio in a ball so as to minimize the first eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with Dirichlet conditions is considered in two and three dimensions. The gap ε between the two conductivities is assumed to be small (low contrast regime). The main result of the paper is to show, using asymptotic expansions with respect to ε and to small geometric perturbations of the optimal shape, that the global minimum of the first eigenvalue...

Ground states of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equation with oscillating coefficients

A. Piatnitski, A. Rybalko, V. Rybalko (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the first eigenpair of a Dirichlet spectral problem for singularly perturbed convection-diffusion operators with oscillating locally periodic coefficients. It follows from the results of [A. Piatnitski and V. Rybalko, On the first eigenpair of singularly perturbed operators with oscillating coefficients. Preprint www.arxiv.org, arXiv:1206.3754] that the first eigenvalue remains bounded only if the integral curves of the so-called effective drift have a nonempty ω-limit set. Here we consider...
